Quest Software has introduced its new unified, global partner program ‘Quest Partner Circle’ that the company says supports its reseller, referral and distribution partners by enabling them to sell the portfolio of Quest’s offerings.
Quest said the new programme offers its partners with a fully integrated and transparent engagement model across the company’s family of offerings, encompassing identity and access management, application performance monitoring, data protection, administration and automation, migration and consolidation, as well as development and optimisation.
The new programme brings together more than 4,500 partners from various programs that have grown organically and through acquisition over time, creating a single global framework.
Quest Partner Circle offers a new tiering structure (Elite, Premier and Registered), sales and technical training, worldwide deal registration and rewards based on revenue and specialisation.
Quest Partner Circle members also are actively supported by Quest support team, including business-critical and executive-level sponsorship for Quest’s Elite partners, and 24×7 support portal access.
Quest Partner Circle is making its international debut at the 2011 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Los Angeles.
Quest Software vice president of Worldwide Channel and Alliances Michael Sotnick said Quest Partner Circle will empower their partners to work more closely and successfully with them and grow their businesses to address evolving customer requirements.
"Through a transparent, predictable model that enables unique partner engagement, the Quest Partner Circle was developed to build a strong foundation for recruiting, educating and engaging partners of all types and sizes," Sotnick said.
